Cuomo Sees Some Sights - Will Clinton Give Him A Call?

Political Notebook

November 18, 1992

ALBANY, N.Y. — Gov. Mario Cuomo, who a year ago was the potential front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, is doing some traveling as those around him wonder whether President-elect Bill Clinton will call with a job. Cuomo's name is not to be found in the speculative lists of possible Cabinet appointees. But Cuomo aides and the governor remember that Clinton, during a June campaign appearance on MTV, said the New York Democrat would make a good U.S. Supreme Court justice. It is unclear whether Clinton's remarks were simply meant to solidify his standing with the liberal wing of the party or were a signal that he would like to see Cuomo in a black robe. ''I don't know what the answer might be,'' Cuomo said Tuesday. ''I'm not going to discuss it.''
